<p>Me: And it&#39;s permanent.<br />Her: &gt;:(</p>

<p>Younger sister told me she wants to get a tattoo. I have tattoos. <br />Her: I want to get a tattoo but mom will get mad. <br />Me: If I were you, I would get a tattoo right now. When mom finds out and gets upset with you, she won&#39;t be able to do anything because it&#39;s already done.</p>

<p>That older relative you do tech support for is probably not bamboozled by digital devices. They were guessing their way through Y/N ms-DOS and dodging Fatal Error cartoon bombs on Macs before you and the smartphone were born. Now they&#39;re older, wearier, and exasperated by digital coercion and the complication of simple things. They’re not listening to Bing Crosby while being amazed email exists. They’re listening to Queen while cursing enshittification &amp; resenting the time it costs them and you.</p>

<p>Well, that was weird. Go out for our anniversary unknowing that we booked a table at the last *ever* service at the famous Arun&#39;s Thai restaurant, closing after 39 years. Met Arun. Ended up on the local news as well. <a href="https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/aruns-thai-restaurant-closes-after-almost-four-decades-chicagos-northwest-side" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">fox32chicago.com/news/aruns-th</span><span class="invisible">ai-restaurant-closes-after-almost-four-decades-chicagos-northwest-side</span></a></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> Well, from my point of view the swapping looks weird but I&#39;m not the one with hearing impairment.</p><p>Talking about that, how&#39;s the situation for hearing impairments earphones and the like? Last time I checked, these were hell more expensive and people recommended AirPods for that reason alone: decent for the price and bonus points if you have an iPhone, which are very good for accessibility.</p>
